Testing the Visual Build

Abstract

This chapter is all about the benefits to testing your SharePoint application. As you start building out the visual design, you need to conduct numerous tests on the site to ensure that it delivers the required content, functionality, and visual standards that have been defined by your users and stakeholders. Testing also helps you catch most of the bugs or defects prior to going live. In addition, you learn how to test your branding against the OOTB site templates and on multiple browsers. SharePoint has many features and functions, and you’ll test them all to check that any of your customizations are not affecting functionality. There may be some cases where your stakeholders will want you to remove some standard features if they are not needed. However the visual design should not make the site perform slower or lose functionality.
